Congratulations!  Beautiful baby.
After the fall of communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltsin's regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin. - Gerard Batten

Of course - sit back, enjoy a whiskey and ponder about all that has happened in those 7 years.  So much has happened.  This will continue - your life is full and fulfilling.   

BTW, congratulations!  IIRC when planning marriage you had some concerns about age disparity.

Yes indeed - I still question my sanity at times but then you sit back, take a little of it in and logic or sanity pales into insignificance....

Maria is gorgeous enough now.  What's she going to be like in ten or twelve years, when some poor boy dares to ask her out on a date, and has to get past your evil eye?! :devil:  I can't believe it's only two years since I visited - and then you only had two and 8.5/9 children!  ;D

A belated congratulations, I/O!  It seems like longer to me as well, probably because you have four kids. :D

Nice photo of the children at a Wild Bean Cafe!

You likely know that most BP Connect stations in Russia have a Wild Bean Cafe inside. What a transformation from a country that formerly had no clean public restrooms, few to no coffee and light food selections inside existing gas stations, etc. Today, we have developed a tradition of shouting "BP!" when someone in the car needs to make a personal pit stop. Sometimes it is for the clean and free toilet facilities, sometimes it is for the coffee, and sometimes for both.

One thing that I admire about BP Connect and Wild Bean is that it is okay to bring your own food inside to consume along with your coffee. In spring and summer months I am often out and about on film and photo shoots and our crew frequently carries in a cooler with some foodstuffs to enjoy at a Wild Bean table. As long as we purchase something, and we typically buy coffee and desserts, bringing in other food is not an issue. We make sure to leave the table clean and pick up our trash before getting back in the car.

Wild Bean is in the background. I/O took the kids to one of the most famous restaurants in the world. I confess I enjoyed some time there when I was younger and craving more fatty foods.

I've always considered calling McVommitts a restaurant something of an oxymoron but it is what it is.

Mendy - The Wild Bean thing is tied up with BP connect here also and that photo is a BP connect site. They have added other providers to some of these sites to make them viable and MD's is always a draw card. As for clearing your trash upon leaving, pleased to hear one family in Russia does that as I am yet to witness it in Russia albeit if it's a few years since of been there...

I/O,

GOOD SHOW!

Thanks for sharing the joy of your life.  They look like a lot of fun.  And you have so much ahead of you. 

You are certainly doing your part in assuring the future population of 20-64 yo in Oz will be able to support your pension.
